The truth was revealed, and it was more shocking and stranger than what the Veronica, Ervas, and Aurora could had ever imagined. It was all a story of invasion, war, and sorrow. The split souls felt more and more guilty as they heard more of what had happened, thinking that if they could had been present the twins wouldn't had needed to go as far.
However the trio still felt doubtful about everything that they were told, there were things they couldn't believe, one of them was the tree's tale and how it came to be.
"You… How did you came to be? We thought you were a different being, but you're actually… such a thing? Not even our Yggdrasil Tree had developed this far before, and it had grown strong for some time now…" said Ervas.
"Indeed, I am… quite confused." Said Veronica.
"Why would you ever be confused by such a thing? Isn't it obvious how I was born? My birth came to be the same way you birthed the twins, my mothers, who are titled the goddesses…" said the tree.
"So you're like a clone?" asked Aurora.
"In a way, yes… And I've even inherited their memories, or part of them, this is why I am able to tell a tale I didn't live until the moment I was born… my birth came to be when my mothers fused together with their Yggdrasil Tree and then, over half a million years, an independent soul was developed, me. This soul of mine is sadly the fusion of my mothers souls with the soul of Yggdrasil…" said the tree.
"T-This… so you're the twins?!" asked Ervas.
"No. Effectively, I am not. But I share their pain, their anger, and their frustrations against you. The part of my soul which are my mothers had been slowly separated by me manually over the other half of this last one million year. As I explained earlier, I developed the ability to have multiple bodies using the same soul by generating new trees using the seeds of my fruits. I spread my fruit across the planet down there and I've created four other bodies which I use to constantly pressure the Hivemind, who to this date is still relentlessly fighting against me and trying to take over everything… the fight become more arduous every 100,000 years, and now, it is reaching a breaking point…" she sighed.
"Breaking point?" asked the split souls.
"The Hivemind is about to break through my power as it slowly adapting to me… In its due time, it will break into the surface, devour all life, and assimilate the planet into a new Hivemind…" sighed the tree.
"T-Then…!"
"Of course, I never took you all into consideration for my plans, I was going to use my bodies and fuse them together into a Titan as my new body, recharged with the power of the planet's core as my fuel, I would pummel the Hivemind and destroy it with everything I have… or die trying." Said the tree.
"We'll help!" said Veronica.
"We can defeat it if we work together…" said Ervas.
"Do you think that because you got the power of a supreme god you can defeat this monster? My mothers were also supreme gods and were not capable of doing it, what makes you better than them?" asked the tree.
"We are not saying we are better, but we have developed a variety of new tools to use at our disposal, and more opportunities as well…" said Ervas.
"I think we can handle it! We are amazingly strong." said Veronica.
"You're arrogant but… indeed. You're strong, I had gone all out there, yet you still defeated me with ease… and that's saying that this is my strongest body, the Divine Crystal Yggdrasil…" sighed the tree.
"So this is really your second body?" asked Veronica.
"I created it using my power to create Fruits. Using this special fruit I traveled into outer space without problems and then planted the divine realm into the spatial layers in the center of the moon, which I made the hideout of my divine realm while I watched over the planet… my mothers bodies are long gone, fused into my original body, but I've separated their souls for a full revival at some point, the bodies inside of me is what I've been recreating using all my capabilities, these are special and reinforced bodies, stronger than anything and made through analyzing their fight against the Hivemind this entire time… but they're not ready yet. I had the hopes of having my mothers aid in the last battle against the Hivemind… but the possibilities are dim, their souls are still in a state of comatose…" said the tree.
After the big explanation, the tree said that she had created the bodies for the revival of Anastacia and Juliette, her mothers, so they could aid her in the battle against the Hivemind in the end… these new bodies were reinforced and remade into super resistant and powerful ones, but even the tree didn't knew when the souls of her mothers would be able to separate themselves from her main soul and get into their new bodies… things seemed dire, the Hivemind was getting more and more active, there might not be enough time to act.
"I wonder if we can do something to help them… Maybe I can help you out! I am pretty good at handling souls, you know? If you want, I can nourish your soul, help you separate the souls of the twins, and insert them into their new bodies." Said Veronica.
"I also possess such power and its not so easy, it took thousands of years to separate them for a reason after all, the reason being that our souls were too mixed with one another, it ended being extremely hard to separate them properly… it was like taking bits by bits over a long period of time, if I committed a mistake, my mothers souls would get mixed again, making everything a mess once more…" said the tree. It seemed that things were not as easy as Veronica thought.
